Nothing Found On UNICAL Professor Ndifon Phone, Forensic Analyst Tells Court
A forensic analyst, Babagana Musa Mingali, on Thursday, informed Justice James Omotosho of the Federal High Court, Abuja, that a mobile phone belonging to the suspended Dean of the Faculty of Law, University of Calabar (UNICAL), Prof. Cyril Ndifon, was empty when he analysed it.
Babagana, a Chief Superintendent of Police attached to the office of the National Security Adviser (NSA), testified as the second Defence Witness (DW2) in the ongoing trial of Prof. Ndifon and his lawyer, Samuel Anyanwu.
The duo is facing charges of alleged se*ual harassment, cybercrime, and attempt to pervert the course of justice brought by the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC).
The ICPC had accused Prof. Ndifon of allegedly asking a female diploma student, identified as TKJ, to send him “pornographic, indecent, and obscene photographs of herself” through WhatsApp chats while he served as the Dean of the Faculty of Law at UNICAL.
Anyanwu, on the other hand, was accused of threatening one of the prosecution witnesses during the pendency of the case.
Both defendants have pleaded not guilty to the charges.
During Friday’s court proceedings, Babagana, led in evidence by defence counsel Joe Agi (SAN), revealed that he received a court order dated July 5, 2024, directing him to conduct a forensic analysis of two mobile phones belonging to Ndifon and Anyanwu.
He stated that he carried out the analysis at the NSA laboratory and submitted a report dated August 8, 2024, to the court.
According to Babagana, the analysis showed that Ndifon’s phone was empty, with no data or content on it.
Justice Omotosho admitted both the court letter and the forensic report as exhibits in the case.
